For one of his CAS Experiences, Egor went to Croatia to help in the Special Needs Support Program. He worked in a school for children with mental disabilities. Egor stayed there for two weeks and mostly played a supporting role to the actual staff – organising the activities for the children and helping the staff in the kitchen (by washing the dishes and taking care of cleaning). Overall, Egor thought it was a great experience, because he got to work with people who are often ostracised from the community. Also, he gained real life experience of volunteering and multitasking.

‘ I would definitely recommend volunteering abroad, as it allows you to see the world around from another perspective.’ Egor shared.
